In case you’ve never heard of the mythical Fountain of Youth, legend tells of a spring from which flows water that will render the drinker forever young. In Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt, Winnie discovers that this fantastic myth might actually be true when she befriends the Tuck family. The Tucks have accidentally drunk from a well whose waters freeze them in time and grant them eternal life. Sounds pretty good right?

But, if the Tucks reveal their secret to the world, it would change the face of humanity, and the natural order of things would run askew. And when Mae Tuck kills a man, their secret is in danger of being revealed. For if they attempt to execute her, they will discover that she cannot die. At the same time, if they put her in jail, they will see that she does not age. Still sound good? What should they do? What would you do?! Uncover the secret behind Tuck Everlasting — it really is a fantastic book.
